💡 Grammar Points
Masculine Plural
Since 'boleto' is a masculine singular word, 'boletos' is the masculine plural form. Remember to use masculine articles with it: 'los boletos' (the tickets) or 'unos boletos' (some tickets).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using the wrong word for travel
Mistake: "Using 'tiquetes' (an anglicism in some areas) too frequently."
Correction: While 'tiquetes' is understood, stick to 'boletos' or 'billetes' for a more formal or standard Spanish sound.
⭐ Usage Tips
Context is Key
'Boletos' works great for transportation (bus, plane) and general admission. For a specific seated event like a concert, you might also hear 'entradas'.
